Oct 15Th Sleeve Questions



Recommended Posts

Ok guys, i was sleeved on Oct 15th. I feel like i've been doing ok except for staying hydrated. I used to be a "guzzler" now there is no way that i can do that. So, i'm doing the best i can at staying hydrated. My wife is scheduled to have sleeve procedure on Dec 12th, so i'm kind of at this by myself for the moment. My first dr appointment since surgery was last friday. My dr told me that if i feel like eating "real food", get after it, just don't be stupid, that i cannot hurt what he has done to my stomach at this point. Well i've tried Wendy's chili one day and the margarita chicken from Chillis another day. Both were fine but i feel like i'm sorta jumping the gun here. I guess i'm looking for encouragement or hand slapping if thats the case. I'm just trying to figure all this out. It seems i'm one of the exceptions to recovery to this surgery, i have lost 50 lbs. since the 15th, i started at 390 lbs. i have not been sick or any complications whatsoever. Just feel real tired after doing any activities. I apologize for my long windedness, just concerned. Looking at this forum i don't feel like i'm on the same track as most of you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
